PARKING: There is a driveway in front of the house that can fit one car. However, we recommend that you drive to the alleyway behind the house and park behind it instead. We have a large gravel lot behind the house where you can fit multiple cars/trucks/campers.

CAMERAS: In order to prevent parties, there are two Ring cameras on the property that record all motion in the front porch and back yard. They are attached to the front porch and back exterior wall of the house and face outward so they cannot record the interior of the house in any way.

Graduation at Puppy Heaven

My family stayed at puppy heaven for graduation weekend. It is 1.5 miles from the stadium so we could walk to graduation. There was enough parking to park 4 cars behind the house. House was clean and had first floor bathroom and bedroom for my mom. Decorations were fun. We will never forget the house.

Interesting

Its an interesting place to say the least. It was clean but not my clean. It is an older home and it was very humid so its a bit musty. It's decor is bizarre 😳 just as the title implies. It was comfort and the dogs loved it. The yard could use some gravel maybe and a few less dog reindeer

Unique home

The house is definitely unique, we are all “dog people” and got quite a kick out of the decor. House was clean and beds were comfy! The only complaint is that we didn’t get very many wash cloths for our entire group. But it wasn’t a huge deal. We all had a great time and the house was close to Historic Crew Stadium, which was great because we were in town for a concert there!

Great time in Short North Columbus

We really enjoyed our trip and our stay. A couple of us have dogs, so even though we were all adults, still enjoyed the puppy Xmas theme. Everything was super and especially convenient to Ohio State.

Great location. Decor that you will always remember!

We stayed here when we moved my daughter into college and wanted a place that was dog friendly. This place took that to the extreme. The decor is intentionally over the top and we have been laughing about it for a week. The place was clean, the owner was responsive and I look forward to my next stay here.

Graduation fun

The owners of the property were great to deal with and really helpful. It’s definitely not your typical boring decor that is found in most rentals, with the Christmas dog theme. Really fun 🤩

Unique & Comfortable

I give it 5 stars, and do have some fair and balanced feedback. For sleeping 7 people, there’s no place to accommodate eating meals with those people. We only had 4 in our group, and still didn’t have any place to sit and eat. The only table in doors seats 2. Our first night, we had family over & pulled the picnic table up on the patio and placed 8 lawn chairs around it but proceeded to get eaten alive by Mosquitos. The yard is not at all groomed and covered in rotting walnuts, making for a trip hazard walking to and from the car, and also attracting flies and bugs to the rotting piles of decaying walnuts. Easy remedy is to clean up and groom at least the front yard for paying guests ahead of their arrival. Inside the property is mostly clean (except for the floors, our feet are covered in black) and the decor is whimsical. It’s like an adult Chuck E. Cheese / Pee Wee's play house & is quite hilarious and entertaining. Our dog loved it! We picked up after him in the yard, so I would say to include that in the house rules to help maintain the yard too. The Air conditioner rattles loudly all through the night, so turned on some white noise to counter the sound. There’s no closets to hang up clothing or unpack into. We still had a great time. The main, important things worked well and were in place. Property manager very nice and responsive. Thanks!!! You’re well on your way to offering something nice and memorable here. Overall 5 stars! Best wishes, Erin.
